-different goals.

+It is very light on resources and easy to handle but yet full of features to
+make an easy, and extremely fast, desktop experience.

-Compile and Install:
-
-  $ ./configure
-  $ make
-  and then as root
-  # make install
-
-
-Cross-Compile for Windows:
-
-  You'll want mingw-cross-env installed, with libX11 and mingw-catgets built.
-  A configure line that works is:
-  $ ./configure \
-        --prefix=/ \
-        --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
-        --disable-imlib2 \
-        --disable-xmb \
-        --disable-slit \
-        --disable-remember \
-        --disable-toolbar \
-        --disable-fribidi \
-        --disable-nls \
-        --disable-xft \
-        LIBS="-lxcb -lXdmcp -lXau -lpthread -lws2_32"
-
-  Then, build and install with
-  $ make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/stage
-
-  You can then copy the whole "stage" directory to a Windows machine and
-  run it on your choice of X server.
